But can you do it on a moving one? These are the questions that must be asked.

2013 saw the end to kissing on public transport for residents of Vienna, Austria.

Porn in Nepal? Illegal. The reason?

“The Home Ministry said that it has had to enforce the ban because young people are addicted to porn.”

Imagine if they weren’t. Now THAT would be troubling.

Then there’s the loophole that could get you fined for kissing in public in India, a few awful archaic ones from the Middle East, not being able to walk around naked in your hotel room in Singapore, and more.

The best one though, which really deserves its own investigative piece, is the restriction on maximum dildos owned in Texas, USA. How many? A modest six.

Mind you, this is a state which allows citizens to openly carry firearms. But seven dildos? God have mercy on your soul.

We’ll still give these countries the benefit of the doubt that their leaders aren’t just wildly infringing on people’s rights or anything like that. It’s just the way their societies operate. They’re conservative and traditional, and we should respect that if we’re visiting.

What do you think of these stranger than fiction ‘sex laws’ from around the globe? Would you dare steal a kiss in some of these places?
